Agree Galloping.
I think our fixtures are a bit kinder than Spurs between now and that game.
I think we have a chance to open up maybe a 4-6pt gap by then, so that they will really have to win at Anfield to turn it around.
Still, one game at a time, lets take care of Fulham and see what the rest do.
Hopefully the return of Europe will help us now. Spurs had particularly poor results earlier in the season on the back of Ropey League games the previous Thursday, hope that trend continues.
Kono banging in a 25 yarder against the spúds would be nice
I had forgot about the Europa actually.
Norwich away first up for Spurs after Dnipro away. Thats a tricky game straightaway with how well Norwich played yesterday against City.
Cardiff at home after the 2nd leg, so thats easy on paper.
What we really need is Spurs to get through to the next round because if they did, their fixtures would like this around then:
Chelsea away
Benfica (probably) home
Arsenal home
Benfica away
Southampton home
Liverpool away
Thats a punishing schedule.
Righteous,
As you say, one game at a time. It's a dull cliche but its the correct way to look at our position right now. We're heading into the final bend so we need to be fully focused.
Under Rodgers I expect nothing less.
Still, as things look to be progressing, Spurs look the main threat, remarkably.
